We’re at Georgia Tech this week — and the agenda for the 28th Annual Fault and Disturbance Analysis Conference is exactly why this event matters.
April 13–14, 2026 | Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center | Atlanta, GA
For protection engineers and power system professionals, the Georgia Tech FDA Conference is the premier forum for real, non-commercial technical exchange — 20 papers presented by practitioners from utilities, universities, and engineering firms, covering the hardest problems in fault analysis today.
This year’s topics hit close to home for the disturbance monitoring community:
⚡ How IBR penetration is reshaping fault behavior and challenging traditional protection schemes
⚡ Digital substation data acquisition, P&C health monitoring, and event analysis
⚡ A NERC update and review of the Iberian Peninsula outage — and what it means for North America
⚡ PMU-based event classification and AI-assisted analysis in modern substations
⚡ Real fault records brought by attendees — always the most valuable session of the week
We’re also proud to note that Mehta Tech President Tony Ranson is serving as Session Vice-Chair for Tuesday’s morning session — a reflection of the respect this community has for his decades of expertise in disturbance monitoring.
Mehta Tech has been building the instruments that capture this data since 1983. The TRANSCAN DME — with continuous fault recording, dynamic disturbance recording, and phasor measurement in a single platform — is the foundation for the kind of analysis on display this week.
